Hello

Well it looks like due to work commitments I'll be in Nakhon for Christmas Day, just wondering if any body knows of anywhere doing a Christmas Dinner?

If not a western dinner - then perhaps a nice restaurant in which to celebrate the festive day?

Appreciate any suggestions.

You should have a chat with Nakhosisean... He has a big oven and he should be able to make turkey. He also said a few months back that he would like that. (Might have changed his mind though).

Also check if his resturant is still open, I dont know so talk to him...

Merry Christmas...

I would make turkey, if I had an oven, but I dont so I will not make turkey this year...

I am hoping to finally make it to his restaurant this weekend - so if he's around I'll ask

Thanks Snowflake.

Nakhonsean was painting his restaurant last time I spoke to him a few weeks ago, so it should be re-opened by now. There is a good chance we will be in town for Xmas, if he is doing something for Christmas we would join in.

Christmas dinner in Nakhon :o:D that means you go to Carrefour buy a 80baht chicken, 2 packets of chips and some stir fried veg from the food counter and wash it down with a vintage bottle of cheap Thai whisky :D:D simple, easy, cheap and no dishes to wash!! enjoy

Depends Tatler, how much are you looking at? I could easily for out a few hundred for a dinner buffet, but for one plate with turkey, maybe around 140-160 Baht...

Buffet, double that and we are talking...

:o:D:D 140-160baht a plate, stop joking SNOWFLAKE!! what i thought of was putting a set of scales at my front gate and weighing people when they come in, it would work out about 4 baht per kg!! So if you weighed 50kg it would cost you 200baht, if you are a fat bastard like myself it might cost 400-500 baht :D:D of course it would be a buffet, eat as much as you like!! anyone interested??

I'll offer my services as official food taster - just to make sure that the mince pies and turkey are ready for eating. I won't charge and will even drink my own beer, if that helps.

Your in Captain Haddock!! I will PM you the details :o:D

Last year, I had a fantastic turkey meal at the Islander in Samui, I think I paid around 250 baht, I don't drink alcohol so they reduced the price.

I really hope I get to eat another delicious turkey dinner this year too,

VTR1000, how is your wife the fantastic cook? :o

doesn't an English teacher in Nakhon own a restaurant here?? why doesn't his restuarant serve Christmas dinner?? i would think that if his restuarant is open he would jump at the chance to make some money from the poor falang teachers :o:D

That is such an amazing answer to all the problems, teacher with restaurant making Christmas dinner. All the teacher has to do is set a price and people can even book tables. I would even lend my hand in the kitchen if this is not the sort of restaurant that could handle such an event. Look forward to eating a big, white turkey dinner. :o:D

My problem with doing xmas dinner in the restaurant is that I will be on a school trip to Chiang Mai that week. I had thought of doing it but they brought forward the trip by six weeks! If Snowflake or someone else is interested in helping/teaching my wife I am sure it could be arranged. Have been thinking of sorting out a new years dinner but need to know others thoughts on that.

You don't have to wobble your way home as they have accomodation up there. There's a few rooms owned by the bar itself as well as a nearby resort on Nai Plao beach.

Just checked my facebook and Jenn said that they moved it to the 21st (Friday) - coz of the alchohol ban due to the govt banning all sales of alcohol on the 22nd and 23rd (dam_n elections!). And she hopes everyone can still make it. They are also going to have a party/bbq on the beach or at their house on the 22nd (but no delicious buffet of mouth watering foods). quote and quote...
